Science Denies God, Because It "Has" To!

In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. (Genesis 1:1) “To whom then will you liken Me, Or to whom shall I be equal?” says the Holy One. Lift up your eyes on high, And see who has created these things, Who brings out their host by number; He calls them all by name, By the greatness of His might And the strength of His power; Not one is missing. Have you not known? Have you not heard? The everlasting God, the Lord, The Creator of the ends of the earth, Neither faints nor is weary. His understanding is unsearchable. (Isaiah 40:25-26, 28) But the natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; nor can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. (I Corinthians 2:14) 

There is a study done by Pastor Erwin Lutzer that is so clear, accurate and detailed in explaining why we, all people, should believe The Bible, entitled "Seven Reasons Why You Can Trust The Bible".  The seven reasons he gives are:

1. The Logical Claims of the Bible
2. The Historical Reliability of the Bible
3. The Prophetic Predictions of the Bible
4. The Authority of Christ
5. The Story of Creation
6. The Role of God's Providence in Creating the Bible
7. The Power of God's Word in Your Life

We will expound on reason # 5 - The Story of Creation.  Edwin Hubble (1920’s), the man who was first able to show that the universe is constantly expanding and for whom the Hubble space telescope is named, came to the conclusion along with other scientist of his generation that indeed there was a "moment in which the universe was created”.

Scientist went on to try and justify the Charles Darwin’s Theory of Evolution by writing The Young Oxford Book of Astronomy textbook (1940’s), which states quote: “At the beginning of the universe, all matter and all radiation was concentrated into a tiny region of space, much smaller than the nucleus of a single atom.  The theory that the universe has expanded from next to nothing into its current immensity relies on the assumption that the red shift of galaxies are caused by motion away from us.  By the time the universe was about a millionth of a second old, much of the energy had been converted into protons, in the next milliseconds electrons formed, and these collided with protons to make neutrons.  Neutrons survived only a thousand seconds, as independent particles, so the next few minutes were critical!  During the first quarter of an hour, the protons reacted with the neutrons which were fast decaying to make the nuclear helium atoms.  In a race against time, as the universe continued to cool and expand, the universe managed to convert…” So all order of the universe came from caos, that on its own, came to order?  WOW! 

Joel R. Primack (2010’s) is a professor of physics and astrophysics at the University of California, Santa Cruz in California, and in recent years at an evolutist conference in Chicago, IL, he stated quote: “[There is one unresolved mystery at the birth of the universe.] Physicist have recently realized that the basic forces of nature split off from one unified force for a few moments after the “big bang” more than 15 billion years ago.  That splitting could have happened in many different ways, only a few of which would have resulted in an inhabitable planet such as the earth.  Humans seem to have hit the jackpot in a cosmic Las Vegas, leaving room for the possibility that some divine providence was responsible for our luck.  I have to be impressed by all the coincidences."

Pahu, a converted athiest, states in his blog, Science Proves God:There is no scientifically valid answers to the question of how the universe could come from nothing, which is impossible by any natural cause of which we are aware.  Walt Brown writes in his book, “In the Beginning”:  "Spontaneous generation (the emergence of life from nonliving matter) has never been observed. All observations have shown that life comes only from life. This has been observed so consistently it is called the Law of Biogenesis. Evolution conflicts with this scientific law by claiming that life came from nonliving matter through natural processes."  (see previous blog, God, Anyone, No One - Why?)

So why not acknowledge the truth, or at least admit they're not sure what to believe?  Phillip Johnson, states it best in one of his writings that the commitment of athiestic evolution is not to science.  It is first to the presuppostion that only matter exists and there is no God.  Lou Oton, an evolutionist wrote quote: "We take the side of science in spite of some of the patent absurdity of some of the constructs, in spite of its failure to fulfill many of its extravagant promises of health and life, in spite of the tolerance in the scientific community for unsubstantiated 'just so' stories.  We do this because we have a prior commitment, a commitment to materialism.  It is not that the methods and the institutions of science somehow compel us to accept the material explanation of the phenomenal world, but on the contrary.  We are forced by our apriority adherence to material causes to create an apparatus of investigation and a set of concepts that produce material explanations, no matter how counterintuitive, no matter how mystifying to the uninitiated.  Moreover, that materialism is absolute, for we cannot allow a divine foot in the door.” Well then, how closed minded.  Not only is God's foot in the door, but God made the door, or at least the trees that it was made from!

People who refuse to believe in God find it easier to believe all the inconsistency and inprobability of evolution, instead of believing in creation, even if science has proven that indeed there was a moment in which the universe was “created”. (Edwin Hubble)  Man evolved from monkeys? But we still have monkeys.  Why?  Because ... God created great sea creatures and every living thing that moves, with which the waters abounded, according to their kind, and every winged bird according to its kind. God made the beast of the earth according to its kind, cattle according to its kind, and everything that creeps on the earth according to its kind.(Genesis 1:21, 25)  God made every animal that has or will ever exist.  God also made man: “Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.” ...God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them. (Genesis1:26-27)  It took several paragraphs of quotes of people trying to justify evolution, but it only took a few sentences from God to explain creation.  We belittle ourselves when we compare ourselves to, claim we evolved from and act like animals.  God made us in His image, and gave us authority to take care of His creation, including the animals.  Why would we settle for being less than that? To the pure all things are pure, but to those who are defiled and unbelieving nothing is pure; but even their mind and conscience are defiled. (Titus 1:15)

Albert Einstein (1900's), a German-born theoretical physicist who developed the general theory of relativity, effecting a revolution in physics, stated quote: "The scientist is possessed by the sense of universal causation.  His religious feeling takes the form of rapturous amazement at the harmony of natural law, which reveals an intelligence of such superiority, such that, compared with it, all the systematic thinking and the acting of human beings is utterly insignificant." Blessed is that man who makes the Lord his trust, And does not respect the proud, nor such as turn aside to lies. Many, O Lord my God, are Your wonderful works Which You have done; And Your thoughts toward us Cannot be recounted to You in order; If I would declare and speak of them, They are more than can be numbered. (Psalm 40:4-5) For those who think creation is too fantastic to believe, then watch out, because things that have happened on the earth since creation will blow our minds even more...
